Reading: Psalm 111

“The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein” (2).

“His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever” (3).

“He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is gracious and full of compassion” (4).

“The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure” (7).

“They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness” (8).

God works.

God is at work.

But what’s with the title? It suggests that I can somehow do God’s work.

I can!

Well, a little bit of it, anyway.

“For we are labourers together with God” (1 Corinthians 3:9).

Wow!!

Reading: Psalm 110

Over the last few months I have called out frequently to the Lord, “Defend us!”

Though I haven’t prayed that way regarding human enemies, this verse I just read fits:

“He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries” (6).

I think that’s a gory verse.

But in its own way it declares the great power of my Defender.

And He is no less mighty and effective against my enemies in the spiritual realm!
